Hardware store in Cheney has new owners CHENEY – The long-time hardware store in downtown Cheney has new owners. Monte and Trent Viner, who own and operate Cheney Electric Service, recently purchased Hometown Farm Supply. For decades, the hardware store operated as Farm Supply, and the business has gone back to the old name, according to the Viners. “They (the previous owners) were going to close it down,” said Monte Viner. “We felt it was important to the community to keep a hardware store operating here.” The Viners have been long-time business
owners in the community, and bring a level of business experience to Farm Supply that they hope will be beneficial as the hardware store turns a new corner. Fueled by loyal customers and three generations of the Viner family, Cheney Electric Service celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2020. The business was founded in 1970 by Duane and Treva Viner. Their son, Monte, was 14 years old. Monte and his son, Trent, now run it. “Back then, did I have any clue that I would still be here after 50 years? I did not. But it’s definitely a good thing,” Monte said. “The other plus is that the third generation is in line to take over. We’re hoping to grow in 2021 and on into

Dan Funke to retire after 44 years in Goddard schools GODDARD – After 44 years with Goddard Public Schools, Dan Funke will retire from teaching at the end of this school year. Except for a brief stint as a technology administrator in the 1990s, Funke has spent his career in the classroom. The reason for that is simple: “The enjoyment of being with kids, and working with them, and watching them grow up.” “I’m now teaching grandchildren of grandparents I had as students,” Funke said. “It was interesting, because a grandfather came in and said, ‘How’s my grandchild doing?’ And I said, ‘Remember how your son was in school? Remember how you were in school? Well, your grandchild is just like that.’ They’re all good kids.” Since the early 2000s, Funke has been an elementary science teacher. He currently teaches K-4 students at Oak Street Elementary, working with every child in the school, every week. He praised school and district leaders for prioritizing science at the elementary level. “I get my kids an average of 75 minutes a week, and there are a lot of schools around here that don’t even give 30 minutes

ARGONIA – There are high expectations for this year’s Argonia Days celebration, which will be held Saturday, May 15, on Main Street in downtown Argonia, rather than at Salter Park a few blocks to the east. After a year of pandemic restrictions, people are starting to get together for community events. Good weather over the last couple of weeks is helping to fuel that optimism, as well. Argonia city clerk Tara Pierce, who heads up the organizational efforts, said there is plenty to do for everyone. “It’s going to be a busy day. We’re trying to keep everything all together (downtown). We thought that might help out the businesses,” she said.

One more chapter
Administrator Ron Marsh to leave Clearwater for Abilene By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com CLEARWATER – A new chapter will begin June 1 for Ron Marsh. That’s when Clearwater’s city administrator will take on the same role in the city of Abilene. The Clearwater city council accepted Marsh’s resignation at its meeting on April 27. “It’s an opportunity for my career, a little bit bigger town. It’s more of a standalone town,” he said. Abilene has a population of nearly 6,400 people, more than twice that of Clearwater’s 2,500 residents.

Obituaries Eileen Sharp
Eileen Margaret (Roths) Sharp, 82, formerly of Conway Springs, departed this life on Sunday, April 25, 2021, at her home in Wichita, surrounded by family. She was born Dec. 6, 1938, in Argonia, to Herbert and Eleanor (Erker) Roths and moved to Conway Springs for grade school. She graduated from Sacred Heart Academy and was active in band playing clarinet, playing basketball, and with STUCO while working as a babysitter, typist and Sunday school teacher. She received her cosmetology license in 1957 from Venus Academy of Beauty Culture in Wichita. Eileen was united in marriage to Larry Ross Sharp on Jan. 16, 1960, at St. Joseph Catholic Church. They made a home in Conway Springs, then in Silver Lake, Kan., and finally settled in Wichita. Eileen practiced hair dressing, painted and created banners for her church, and raised a family of nine. She was a faithful and involved member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church in Wichita for 33 years. Eileen was preceded in death by her parents; husband of 56 years; her eldest daughter, Shari; two sisters, Cathy Schulte and Jean Ann Kimple; and many in-laws. She is survived by her sons, Daniel (Laura) of Independence, Mo., and Roger of Topeka; four daughters, Catherine Zielke of Wichita, Cynthia Sharp of Topeka, Christina (Pete) Quinlan of Perry, Kan., and Stacy Sharp of Wichita; and her brother, Johnny Roths (Betty) of Wichita. Eileen lived her life of servitude and was always gently engaged, without complaint, without hesitation for anyone and never judged or said a negative word of any human. She opened her home to the homeless, the rejected, or ones who needed comfort. She never missed one of her kids’ sporting events, and was an avid KC Chiefs fan. Her hobbies included baking, drawing and painting, piano playing, board games, boating, and mostly spending time with her kids and grandkids, making all feel safe and loved with her warm and caring heart. She was devoted to the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rosary was at 10 a.m., followed by funeral Mass at 10:30 a.m., on Friday, April 30, both at St. Anne Catholic Church, Wichita. Committal followed at 3:00 p.m. in St. Joseph Cemetery, Conway Springs. Arrangements were by Ebersole Mortuary, Conway Springs.

HAYSVILLE – As the new science teacher at Campus High School, Tyler Balsters will have big shoes to fill. They are familiar shoes, however, as Balsters has been hired to carry on the long legacy of his father, David Balsters, who passed away suddenly last November. Even though Tyler attended Belle Plaine High School, Tyler spent plenty of time in his father’s classroom as a youth. “My dad taught for 35 years. This was our second home,” he said. It was during those times together that Tyler developed a love of biology. He comes from a family of educators, so following his father into education was not a surprise. Tyler is completing his first year of teaching as a science teacher at Nickerson High School. He joined the profession at a difficult time. “It’s been really hard. It’s been hard for everybody because of COVID. I had
to create everything from scratch,” he said. “You just try to build the best relationships with your students.” He is now teaching hands on after spending much of the year instructing remotely. David passed away on Nov. 20. He taught biology, zoology, microbiology and field botany at Campus. He also was an avid outdoorsman. In addition to observing wildlife, he enjoyed fishing, hunting and golfing. Tyler said coming to Campus to carry on his father’s legacy was his best option. David added many electives to the Campus curriculum over the years. Tyler wants to continue that legacy and carry on his father’s love of nature and outdoors. Tyler never had his father as a teacher, but David did coach Tyler in youth sports and in high school football for two years. “He was an intimidating person at first, but he also had a sense of humor,” Tyler said. He said his father had “bad sarcasm.” “It’s something you had
to get used to,” he said. Tyler said he grew up with a lot of expectations but plenty of support, too. Tyler and his four siblings – a brother and three sisters – all were valedictorians of their high school classes. “He expected a lot out of you. But he was a loving father. We all excelled at life,” he said. “We got lucky genetically because we all got good grades and work ethics.” Was there any advice Tyler’s father gave him as he started his own teaching career? David told Tyler to focus on relationships and not take on too much too soon, advising him to not get burned out early in his career. Tyler served as Nickerson High’s assistant cross country coach last fall. Tyler said he is coping with the loss of his father. “When it happened, it was hard at first. We focused on the good times,” he said. “If you’re going to leave this Earth, it’s best to leave a legacy. We know he had a lasting impact.” The Balsters family estimates that David taught

roughly 10,000 students over 35 years. Many students reached out to the family on social media following David’s passing. Tyler has been spending time at Campus High going through his father’s classroom. He has found materials going back to the 1960 and 1970s. He discovered an old VHS tape of a shark dissection. “It’s like a time capsule a bit,” Tyler said. Going through things hasn’t been too bad because he holds so many good memories. Tyler is looking forward to teaching zoology, which is his main interest. He would like to help coach the Colts’ cross country and track and field teams. Was there any career advice that David had for Tyler? “Enjoy the parts of teaching that you like. It’s a hard job at times but it’s an important job,” Tyler said. “I’m excited to be a Campus Colt and continue my dad’s legacy.”
Please note: All proceeds from this event go towards an expansion of the fire station. For tournament sponsorships please contact Mary at 316-540-3622.

Band to host golf tourney By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
CHENEY – The fifth annual Cheney High School Band golf tournament and fundraiser will take place on Saturday, May 22. Funds raised will help cover a variety of expenses for band members. The first tournaments helped pay for the first new uniforms the band had in more than a quarter-century. The tournaments have helped cover other costs, too, including band instruments. Larger instruments like drums and tubas are often provided by schools rather than by students. The cost is $75 per person or $300 per team. The tournament is a four-person scramble. A meal will
be provided. Players can purchase mulligans. There will be contests, including longest drive and closest to pin. Checks can be made payable to “Cheney Band” and mailed to band director Travis Johnson at Cheney High School, 800 N. Marshall, Cheney, KS 67025. Sponsors are needed. Sponsorship levels range from a $100 hole sponsorship to the $500 Cardinal sponsorship, which includes two passes into the tournament and inclusion on all signage. To be a sponsor, contact Johnson at tjohnson@usd268.org or 316-542-3113. Johnson said that roughly one in three Cheney students in grades 5 through 12 participate in band.

News Briefs Cheney blood drive is Monday CHENEY – An American Red Cross blood drive will take place on Monday. The drive will run 1-6 p.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 639 Lincoln in Cheney. Healthy individuals are encouraged to make a blood donation appointment now. But what about those who’ve received a COVID-19 vaccine – can they donate? As long as donors are symptom-free, feeling well and can provide the vaccine manufacturer’s name, there’s no waiting period required after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine currently authorized in the U.S. Additional blood donation eligibility information is available at www.RedCrossBlood.org/ Eligibility. The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether they developed symptoms.

COVID cases close Argonia school Staff report TSnews An outbreak of COVID-19 has closed an Argonia school, at least for a day. According to the USD 359 website, confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 at multiple grade levels have closed Argonia Middle and High School on Monday, May 3. The time will give personnel the chance to do additional cleaning and contract tracing, and to plan for how to best educate students with multiple quarantines taking place. Monday night’s Argonia High School awards program has been postponed.
A new date has not been set. The middle school and high school building houses grades 6-12. Classes continued normally at Argonia Elementary School. High school and middle school students returned on Tuesday. Additional schedule changes were made Monday. Wednesday, May 5, had been scheduled as the last day of regular classes for seniors, with final exams on Friday. Instead, Tuesday became the final regular day and the finals were moved up to Wednesday and Thursday. Because of a lack of helpers on Wednesday, the elementary school field
day was moved to this Friday. Kindergarten students are not scheduled to be in class that day because of the kindergarten roundup for next year’s students. Parents are encouraged to bring this year’s kindergarten students to the field day so that they can participate on Friday. USD 359 became the first school in the TSnews coverage area to drop its mandatory mask mandate for students and staff, moving to an optional policy. A challenge to the district’s change in policy was filed immediately after that decision, but on a 7-0 vote the members of the USD 359 Board of Education upheld the policy change.

Taking out the trash (truck)
Travis Mounts/TSnews
An overturned trash truck closed down Lake Road on the northeast edge of Cheney for about two hours on Tuesday morning. According to Cheney Police Chief Ken Winter, the first responders were on the scene at 8:32 a.m. The driver suffered minor injuries and was examined by EMS personnel, but he was not transported to the hospital. Winter said the driver was southbound on Lake Road when the truck went off the west edge of the road. In an attempt to get back on the road, the driver lost control of the truck and it rolled onto its left side, blocking both lanes of traffic. Lake Road was closed for about two hours, from Eighth Avenue in town, north to 23rd Street South, just outside of the city.

Chief asks for council support on how patrol cars are being used By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com
CONWAY SPRINGS – Members of the Conway Springs City Council covered a lot of ground with the Police Department at its meeting last week, including agreement by consensus that officers should be allowed to take patrol cars home at night to improve their response times in an emergency. “I don’t ever want to hear citizens say they can’t get a police officer to respond,” said Conway Springs Chief of Police Michael Roths. Roths said
the department has to have vehicles “available to us at home to be able to respond.” Roths raised the issue because there had been some discussion from outside his department about use of vehicles, and he asked that any citizen concerns involving the department be directed to him. Council members agreed with the chief ’s policy on vehicles, and one council member apologized for any problems that arose from discussing the issue with a citizen. “The amount of accomplishment by the Police Department since our new
chief has been on board has been exponential,” said Mayor Jessica Gerlach. Along those lines, council members were impressed with the direction the Police Department will be taking with dilapidated structures in the community. Roths noted 50 properties within the city that need attention, and will be sending out letters next week. The properties will be reviewed in June, and if needed, a 10-day abatement process will be launched June 21. Both council members and the police chief said they thought there might have
City to standardize rec agreements By Michelle Leidy-Franklin TSnews mfranklin@tsnews.com CLEARWATER – The Clearwater City Council will begin using a standardized agreement for the use of city-owned recreation facilities. The change was approved at the April 27 city council meeting. The city had different types of agreements with the organizations that use those facilities. “Previously, the City of Clearwater had field usage agreements with USD 264, AYSO and the recreation commission pertaining to the use and care of the city owned fields. In each agreement, the responsibilities were different from organization to organization and led to some confusion and inconsistencies,” said city administrator Ron Marsh. City staff consulted with the city attorney, who
drafted a standardized agreement. According to Marsh, the agreement will eliminate inconsistencies and clarify responsibilities for care and maintenance of the fields. “The agreement also creates a streamlined process when another organization desires to contract to use the fields,” said Marsh. Organizations with current field usage agreements will be valid through the end of the season of 2021 and the new agreement will be the agreement signed for the following season. The agreement was approved by the council unanimously. In other business: • An agreement for the July 4 fireworks display was signed for the budgeted amount of $8,000. • The council approved moving forward with a bond to pay for a new park shelter in City Park. The maximum expected
cost for the shelter would be $375,000, although an exact cost has not been set. The city has some money in reserve, so the amount needed on the bond will be less. • The council approved a contract to hire a city engineer. The contract will allow the city to have engineering consulting available throughout the year on various projects. The contract included an option to terminate the agreement if needed. The contract will not prevent the city from hiring other engineers when needed. • The council approved a request from the high school senior class to organize a senior parade. • An executive session was held at the end of the meeting regarding personnel matters of non-elected personnel. At the end of the session, the city council accepted the resignation of city administrator Ron Marsh. (See related story, Page A1).

Lower water bills coming to Goddard By Nancy D. Borst TSnews
GODDARD – City of Goddard water customers are a step closer to some welcome relief in their monthly water and sewer bills. Last month the city refinanced its water-related debt obligations. Chief financial officer Matt Lawn told the city council at its meeting Monday that the savings will allow the city to reduce every customer’s bills. “It’s not based on usage because it’s coming off the debt service fee,” Lawn explained. “Every one of our customers will see this.” Customers who use both city water and sewer will see a total monthly reduction of $14.03, which amounts to $168.36 in savings per customer in a year. Refinancing water and sewer debt through the Kansas Department of Health and Environment Revolving Loan program lowered the city’s annual debt obligations. The original monthly cost to

customers for water debt was $12.44 – the refinance lowered that to $10.88. The refinance did not extend the repayment period for the debt but the city has more water customers, which allowed the slightly lower debt payment for each customer. The annual savings is $18.75 per customer. The original monthly sewer debt cost per customer was $27.95. The refinance lowered that to $15.48, an annual savings of $149.61 per customer. City administrator Brian Silcott said the plan is to put the new rates into effect in June, with customers seeing the reduction for the first time on their July bills. The council reviewed the water and sewer budget for 2021 and 2022 at Monday’s meeting. Lawn plans to present new water and sewer rate ordinances at the May 17 meeting. The council awarded infrastructure construction bids for the Rustic Creek Addition Phase 1 as follows: paving, Pearson, $463,467.50; grading,
Pearson, $279,975; storm sewer, McCullough Excavation, $335,400; water, McCullough Excavation, $181,200. Total cost of the improvements is $1.739 million. All bids were below the engineer’s estimates. Silcott gave an update on the Community Center focus groups, which will begin a series of meetings on May 13. The users of the community center will comprise the groups. The meetings will continue until early August. In other business, the council agreed to move forward with possible condemnation proceedings on the property at 101 N. Cedar. The council held a public hearing March 15 during which the current owner indicated he had a buyer willing to bring the property into compliance. That deal reportedly has fallen through and no improvements have been made. The council directed staff to bring back a resolution on May 17 to set a new public hearing on the matter.

Marsh From Page A1 Marsh has long been involved in government work. He worked for 18 years in Sedgwick County’s public works department, spending much of that time in administration and management. He overlapped that work with service to Clearwater. Marsh served two terms on the USD 264 Clearwater Board of Education, from 2003 to 2006 and again from 2010 to 2013. He then served on the Clearwater City Council from 2015 to 2017, leaving the council to become city administrator. “One of my goals has been to move to a little bit bigger city,” he said.
Argonia From Page A1 Plans were to move the event downtown last year, but most community events in the area never took place or were scaled back considerably. The day begins with a parade at 10:30 a.m., and events will continue until about 3 p.m. Lineup for the parade will begin at 9:45 a.m. Live music will start at 11 a.m., and that is when food vendors will open. Plains Church will be selling funnel cakes, and the After Prom committee will have a food booth. Of course, there will be free ice cream
That desire was part of the discussion Marsh and his wife, Amy, started having last fall as they considered what their lives would look like post-retirement – a time that he said is not that far off. The Marshes have previously lived in Salina and Manhattan, so they know that area well. They have a son who lives in Manhattan with his wife, and have friends in that area. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect to get it,” Marsh said. Taking over as Clearwater’s top administrator, Marsh discovered he loved his new career. “I didn’t know this field even had a career path,” he said. “When I got the opportunity, I fell in love with helping people on a grander scale.” Clearwater has been
home to the Marshes for 24 years. They still have family in the area and many friends here. Marsh, who is originally from South Carolina, said this is the longest he has lived in any single place. Outside of a two-year period, Marsh has lived in Kansas since 1986. “It’s going to be bittersweet,” he said. “There will be a lot of sadness.” One of the highlights of Marsh’s time in public service in Clearwater is the construction of the new Clearwater High School building. “That took three elections to get that through. That was a big step for the school district and the city,” Marsh said. He also looks fondly on the quality of life improvements that have been made, especially over the
while supplies last. Commercial vendors will be located on the sidewalks along Main Street. “We have a lot more vendors scheduled than in the past,” Pierce said. New this year will be a jalapeno eating contest. That will be at 12:30 p.m. Other events include a sand dollar dig at noon, sack races at 1 p.m., turtle races at 1:30 p.m., frog races at 1:45 p.m., toad races at 2 p.m., and musical chairs at 2:15 p.m. Another new feature will be giant yard games, such as chess, Jenga, four-in-arow, pong, dominoes and a game called wall ball. Inflatables will be located north of the bank and will operate 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Wristbands are $10 each and will be sold that day. There will be no individual tickets available. The ducky match game and D&L train lines will operate 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The day includes a silent auction, gift baskets and other items. Visit the ticket table for information. A boys’ bike and girls’ bike will be given away at 2:45 p.m. Community garage sales also will be going on this weekend. The Full Moon Bar & Grill is hosting a corn hole tournament. The Susanna Salter Home Museum will be open for tours. Local businesses also will be open. Pierce said city leaders hope the move downtown will benefit those businesses.

last five to six years. “They make Clearwater more appealing to move to,” he said. Those include parks and the walking path, and the soon-to-be-built new road, Young Drive. Marsh said. Marsh said it is difficult to leave now, because there are projects that he won’t be able to see to conclusion. “There’s so much progress being made in Clearwater right now,” he said. “You always want to leave things better than you found them, and I think we’ve done that.” Marsh’s last official day as Clearwater city administrator will be May 31, although his last day in the office will be May 21. He will be taking vacation before starting his new duties.
The city has not publicly announced its plans for hiring a new administrator. Marsh said Mayor Burt Ussery and the city council may wait to bring in a replacement until after the new budget is in place this summer. Marsh had
high praise for the current staff and their abilities to keep things going. “We’ve got a great staff here. That’s probably the hardest part about leaving. They’re energetic and excited. They’re good and they’re smart,” he said.

Dan Funke helps serve up Thanksgiving dinner. All the students at Oak Street Elementary help put together the long-running school tradition.
Funke From Page A1 a week to science in elementary school, especially in kindergarten, first and second grade,” he said. “Right now, I’ve got the fourth grade learning about the human brain, building a model of the brain with clay. In second grade, we’ve been working on matter, and in kindergarten and first grade, living versus non-living things.” Funke recalled one former student, who was smart, but headstrong. “I told him, ‘I know you’re intelligent, but if you can’t work with people, you can’t make things work,’” Funke said. “So I told him he had to build a rocket, but he couldn’t touch it. He had to instruct other people on how to build it. I told him, ‘You’ve got to work with people, and show them that they should want to work with you.’ They built a five-foot rocket that went
up and exploded about 150 feet up in the air.” “Over the years, you encourage young people to measure up to their successes and do some great things. You look at the ones that are struggling, and you try to boost them up, too,” he said. “Even the ones that you sometimes wonder about, they come out to be really great kids, and come back and say, ‘I remember what you told me.’ That’s important to me, because every kid wants to learn. You have to give every kid an opportunity to learn.” Funke is well known in the Goddard community for his many civic involvements, which he sees as an extension of his work in the schools. He has long been active in Goddard Fall Festival organizing committees, as a leader of local Scout troops, and in both the local Goddard Lions Club and the state Lions organization. “I still plan to work with Lions Club and the city on different projects,” Funke said. “We just got done
with the citywide garage sales, and I think that was important, to bring the community and city government together for the common good of all our citizens.” Funke also plans to stay involved with the Goddard Mitten Tree project, which provides holiday food and gifts to children and families in need. “We served 495 kids last year, and almost 200 families. That’s grown from a project of 30 over the course of 20 years,” Funke said. Funke offered words of gratitude to everyone who helped him along the way. “Every principal has been fantastic to work for. They have truly been successful. We’ve had very good superintendents and boards of education who have worked hard to improve the programs we have,” he said. The public is invited to a retirement reception in Funke’s honor, Wednesday, May 12, from 1 to 5:30 p.m. in Goddard Linear Park, 108 N. Main Street. Dan Funke reads to students at Oak Street Elementary. He has spent much of his USD 265 career at that school. Subscribers can see more photos online at tsnews. com. Contributed photo

the future.” Viner said he had not anticipated that some of that growth was going to involve buying another existing business, but he said he and Trent are excited about the opportunity. The first step for the new owners was to hire a full-time manager for Farm Supply. The new manager is Greg Tremblay, who has more than 25 years of experience in the hardware business. Tremblay said he’s excited to be a part of the transformation of the hardware store. “We’ve cleared out a bunch of old stock, and have added a lot of new inventory,” said Tremblay. “The local support has been amazing, and that’s what it takes for a local business to be successful.” Monte Viner said a focus has been to get the business more into paint and hardware sales. He also said Tremblay is utilizing social media to help expand the customer base for the business. While Tremblay focuses on day-to-day operations at Farm Supply, the Viners will continue to focus on Cheney Electric, where they handle everything from small, residential projects to large commercial and industrial endeavors. For example, a few years ago the company handled electrical, plumbing and mechanical installation for the Albers Finishing and Solutions plant north of Cheney. “Finding the best,

most cost-effective solutions for our customers is what we love to do,” Monte said. “And when problems crop up, we diagnose them and take care of them.” Cheney Electric serves customers all over Sedgwick County, as well as in the surrounding counties of south central Kansas. Plans for a customer appreciation event to celebrate 50 years in business were disrupted by the COVID pandemic, but the Viners are hoping to schedule something in 2021. And now, that celebration can include an open
house at Farm Supply, said Monte. The two businesses are literally next door to each other on Main Street in Cheney. Cheney Electric is located at 314 N. Main Street, and Farm Supply is located at 330 N. Main Street. Farm Supply is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The hardware store is closed on Sundays.

Still unbeaten, Tigers’ soccer gives up first goal of season By Sam Jack TSnews
The Eisenhower Tigers girls soccer team extended their season-long unbeaten streak last week – but they were scored upon for the first time this year. The goal came in the final few minutes of Eisenhower’s April 29 game versus Andover, when the Tigers were already leading 4-0. “We gave up a PK in the box, and they were able to finish it,” said Tigers head coach Brandon Sommer. “So that’s over and done with, so we don’t have to worry about that anymore.” Andover and Eisenhower were tied 0-0 at halftime. Then with 29 minutes left in the game, Emma Franklin scored to make it 1-0. Harley Johnson scored again just over a minute later. “In the first half, they were able to hold more possession than we wanted,” Sommer said. “So that first half, we were a little discombobulated, because they came out really strong. Then we just reorganized at halftime.” Franklin scored a second goal with 11 minutes left to play, and Lexi Jack made it 4-0 with 8:42 remaining. Last Tuesday, April 27, the Tigers hosted Andover Central and won 2-0. In the first half, Brianna Henning scored off an Abby Bachman cross. The Tigers got another goal in the second half, scored by Franklin with an assist from Jayda Wyatt. “We were attacking on the right side for a good 15, almost 20 minutes, and then we switched it to the left and were able to score pretty much immediately,” Sommer said.
On Tuesday, the Tigers faced fellow unbeaten Maize, in a game whose outcome could well decide the No. 1 seed and home field advantage going into regionals. On Thursday, May 6, the Tigers will host Arkansas City, and on Tuesday, May 11, they will play Goddard at the district stadium.
Lions lose to Andover, VC The Goddard Lions girls soccer team had a tough week last week, losing at Andover 2-0 on April 27 and at Valley Center 3-0 on April 29. “Both great teams with some really talented girls on their squads,” Lions head coach Josh Hansen said. “I would say Andover, we played really good team defense. They limited our chances, very much so, but I think we came out and surprised them. I think they were hoping they could get four, five, six goals against us, and I know their coach was looking to rest some of their varsity girls, because they had a big game coming up against Eisenhower.” Marissa Martinez, a key offensive player for the Lions, played a midfield position last week as she recovered from a hamstring injury. “We need her up top to give us some offensive presence, somebody who can put the ball away, and we’re missing that piece right now,” Hansen said. The Lions played at Arkansas City on Tuesday, and will host Andover Central this Thursday. On May 11, they face Eisenhower in their last game before the start of
regional soccer.
Colts lose at Maize, beat Hutch The Campus Colts girls soccer team went 1-1 last week, losing to Maize 2-0 on Tuesday, April 27, before rebounding for a 4-1 win on April 29 at Hutchinson. Colts head coach Nicole Peschel called the undefeated Maize squad “a very talented bunch.” “Our defense really stepped up and played very well in that game,” she said. “Both goals we gave up are goals, if we had done a couple of things differently, we could’ve prevented. Maize definitely dominated the possession aspect, but our defense stepped up strong, and our goalie (Alissa Brown) played pretty well. We were pretty pleased in the end, despite the loss.” The win at Hutchinson snapped a scoring drought for the Colts, which was a morale booster. “We were able to generate and get some offense going that game. Scoring Goal 1 within the first two minutes of the game kind of helped kickstart that,” Peschel said. Gabby Chavez scored that first goal, as well as two later goals. Hailee Neitzel also scored. “A couple of Gabby’s goals had her on the attack a little bit, taking somebody one-on-one,” Peschel said. “She’s really improved a lot in her one-on-one skills.” The Colts played at Maize South on Tuesday. This Thursday, May 6, they will host Newton, and on Tuesday, May 11, they will host Salina South.

Clearwater girls take fourth By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com The Cheney Cardinals and Garden Plain Owls teams had the top finishes at Friday’s Vernon Ferguson Invitational, named after the late Cheney Cardinals track coach.

The Clearwater Indians also were at the meet. The girls were fourth out of 13 teams, scoring 54.4 points. The Indians’ boys had 54 points, taking sixth out of 12 squads. The schools turned in a
number of strong performances, taking advantage of picture-perfect weather. Clearwater’s Zach Trotter set a new school record in the boys 400. The new record is now 49.60.

College News Costello part of nationalqualifying steel bridge team GARDEN PLAIN – The Kansas State University Steel Bridge Team, after scoring well in the Heartland Regionals in April, has qualified for the American Institute of Steel Construction, or AISC, National Student Steel Bridge Competition virtual “Compete from campus” event. The event was held on Tuesday at K-State’s Engineering Hall; results were not available at press time. Lauren Costello of Garden Plain, a master’s student in architectural engineering, was among the team members. Team members, in a timed competition, will be videotaped as they construct a 1/10-scale steel bridge, piece by piece, at a simulated river site. Once built, the bridge, entirely designed by the students, will be judged for aesthetics based on its appearance and a poster describing design of the bridge, and then undergo lateral and vertical load testing. During the regional competition, the K-State team scored first in lightness and efficiency, and third in both construction speed and economy, for a second-place overall finish.

Spicy ramen makes ‘miso’ happy flavors, I’d recommend starting with less of the sambal oelek, which is a spicy chili sauce. I used only one tablespoon the first time, and in the four or five times I’ve made this since, I added a second tablespoon, and it gives it a good “makes your nose run” heat. This comes from the blog “40 Aprons” by Cheryl Malik. You can find her original post at https://40aprons. com/15-minute-spicy-ramen/. I added extra garlic in my version. This was so, so good. I don’t normally make something again, let alone numerous times, before I share a recipe with you guys, but this one was so good that it has its own card in my recipe box already. It’s so easy to add extras, too. You could add shrimp or chicken or tofu, too, if you want some protein in there. And the nice thing about controlling the spice level yourself is even if you guess wrong, you don’t have to deal with the judgmental eyes of a cashier, silently telling you, “I told you so.”

One of the first meals Joey and I had inside a restaurant after we were officially vaccinated for COVID-19 was to try out some local spicy garlic ramen we heard about online. The restaurant serves its spicy ramen in levels, with each level getting progressively hotter. Joey started off asking for a relatively high number, and the sweet girl at the counter just shook her head at him and asked if he was sure. He went with a lower option, just in case. We really enjoyed the ramen. It was flavorful and just the right amount of spicy. It made for a great meal, so of course, we decided we had to figure out how to make some spicy garlic ramen for ourselves at home. If you’re not into spicy
Spicy garlic ramen comes together in about 15 minutes, has lots of levels of flavor and is extremely easy to customize with your favorite ingredients.
Spicy Garlic Ramen Ingredients 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1-inch knob fresh ginger, cut into fourths 8 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon miso paste 1-2 tablespoons sambal oelek 2 tablespoons soy sauce 2 teaspoons sesame oil dash rice wine vinegar 2 blocks ramen Optional toppings: soft-boiled eggs, sliced green onion, sesame seeds, fresh sliced mushrooms, etc.
Spice Up Your Life is sponsored by Main Street Co. & Kitchen Corner in Newton. Find them at shopmainstco.com. Lindsey Young is an enthusiastic amateur cook and can be reached through her website at spiceupkitchen.net.
Directions Combine the broth along with one cup water in a medium-sized pot. Toss in the ginger, garlic, miso paste, sambal oelek, soy sauce, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer, letting the flavors meld for 10 minutes. If you are serving this with soft-boiled eggs, place your eggs in a pot and just cover them with cold water. Bring to a rapid boil and remove from heat after six minutes. Drain the eggs and immediately plunge them in a bowl of ice water, and set them aside while your ramen finishes. To finish off the ramen, remove the slices of ginger, and bring the broth back to a low boil and drop in the blocks of noodles. Cook for two minutes or until the noodles reach your desired level of doneness. Serve with whatever toppings you choose.

New name, same great paper(s) By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com

Haysville Sun-Times
You’ll notice a bit of a different look in the masthead of this week’s paper. You’ll also see some minor changes in our bylines and photo credits. Let us introduce you to TSnews, the new name for the combined editions of The Times-Sentinel, the Haysville Sun-Times and the Conway Springs Star & Argonia Argosy. A lot of thought went into what to call our combined paper going forward, and yet our
first idea turned into what we feel is the best one. TSnews feels right for several reasons. The official business name is Times-Sentinel Newspapers, LLC, and comes from the name The Times-Sentinel, reflecting the first papers in this operation: The Cheney Sentinel, the Clearwater Times and the West Sedgwick County News-Sentinel of Goddard. Back in the early 1990s, we couldn’t have predicted what other titles would be part of this family of newspapers, or that they would wind up in one paper. The “T” and the “S” can also stand for most of the other papers: The Conway
Springs Star. The Haysville Sun. The Haysville Times. The “News” part of News-Sentinel is included. The only name that isn’t directly reflected in “TSnews” is the Argosy. But we still love you, too, Argonia. Hyphens are a part of the newspaper names across the country, reflecting just how fluid our industry actually is. We created The Times-Sentinel, then inherited the Star-Argosy, which was a merged paper starting back in the 1970s. The Haysville Sun and Times merged before they came to us, as well.

Teacher, mother, hell-raiser
Haysville says goodbye to Marion Renner By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
HAYSVILLE – Marion Renner was many things: teacher, library patron, mother, and – according to her obituary – an eternal hell-raiser. Renner died Monday, Sept. 7, at the age of 87, after battling health problems recently. A native of Zurich, Kan., located in the northwest part of the state, she was a longtime Haysville resident. She spent more than three decades teaching in Haysville Public Schools, although her first job out of college was working as a fashion illustrator for JCPenney in Wichita. She took that job after earning an arts degree at Kansas State University. Her marriage ended in divorce in the 1960s, leaving her to raise two children on her own. That was a difficult time to be a single mother, according to her son, Richard Renner. “A lot of her married friends quit talking to her,” he said. “ I had to deal with being from a ‘broken’ family and whatever the hell that meant. She made sure we grew up in a family environment.” That meant returning to Zurich in the summer with her two children to be on her parents’ farm. After the end of her marriage, she returned to school and earned a master’s degree in teaching, which allowed her to be on the same schedule as her children and, as her obituary noted, save money on daycare bills. Richard said his mother’s first teaching job was at a one-room school in northwest Kansas. “It was one of the last ones ever. She had no problem teaching older kids and younger kids together,” he said. She spent more than 30 years teaching kindergarten in Haysville Public Schools. She started at Oatville Elementary before becoming one of two kindergarten teachers at Nelson Elementary. “It was her and Ruth Clark, the two of them together. Mom was known as the mean one and Ruth was known as the nice,” Richard said. Sometimes, a misbehaving student from a different grade level was sent to Renner before going to the principal’s office. Richard wasn’t sure if

his mother cultivated that image or liked being the mean one, but, he said, “She liked telling that story. She liked being stern with kids. She’d tell me to do something. I’d say, ‘Why?’ She said, ‘Because it’s the right thing to do.’” Actually, Marion was very nurturing at home. Richard said he had to hear from friends about how stern she was in the classroom. She encouraged creativity in Richard and his sister, Julie. Both earned theater degrees. It wasn’t just kindergarten students who found Marion Renner to be stern and formidable. She was the head of the teacher’s union for several years, and understood school finance inside and out. That was just one example of her will and determination to get things done and of her ability to lead. “I watched her negotiate with the board of education. A lot of them were scared of her. She knew her stuff.” Marion enjoyed the arts, especially theater. She played piano, sang and dance. She once broke her leg while dancing on a freshly polished floor. She was an avid reader and was in the middle of a book the day she died. She spent time traveling after her retirement, but also found ways to remain very active. She worked at

Newman University for a time, running the teacher placement program. She was active as a member of the Haysville Public Library board of directors and the Friends of Haysville Public Library, and at the Haysville United Methodist Church, where her activities included serving as president of the women’s group. Renner was responsible for the murder mystery dinners staged by the Friends of the Library. She helped organize the annual citywide garage sales, proudly boasting that Haysville put on the country’s first organized citywide sales. Renner was recognized for her community work as the Haysville Citizen of the Year and the Friends of Kansas Libraries Volunteer of the Year. Marie Riggs was a longtime friend of Marion. The pair go back at least 35 years, becoming friends through church as well as teaching together. “She was like the Energizer Bunny,” Riggs said. “She was always ready and willing.” That included a trip to the Kansas City area a few years ago to watch the solar eclipse. Riggs described Marion as the ringleader of a group of people in their 80s and 90s who were planning to make the drive for the rare celestial event.
“My husband and I decided to take them,” said Riggs, who is quite a bit younger. “That went to the end (of her life.)” Riggs said Marion continue to audit classes at Wichita State, even during the last year of her life as her health began to deteriorate. “She continued to learn, right up to the end,” Riggs said. Although she retired in the 1990s, she remained a teacher at heart. “She loved teaching. She loved all her students,” Richard said. “She was able to raise us and a thousand other kids at the same time.” His Facebook post about his mother’s passing drew more than 400 comments, with people telling stories and sharing how much Marion Renner meant to them. “In many ways, she really was the mom of Haysville too.” –Bill Unruh. “She has touched the world one child at a time. It has been my honor to know her.” –Rhonda Bartels-Townson. “She was our first teacher three years apart and has always been in our hearts, minds and prayers.” –Lori O’Dell. “She is leaving a big hole in the Haysville Methodist Women for sure.” –Roma Otankis. “She touched so many
family never heard from him. That was very common following divorces in the 1960. A couple of years ago, someone from California reached out to Richard. “I got a call from a lady who introduced herself as my half-sister, Kathy Renner,” he said. Known today as Kathy Yamada, she wanted to connect with the family members she never knew. “Mom went out there with me. Kathy loved her so much, she starting calling her ‘Mom,’” he said. “She (Marion) had a natural nurturing that people responded to.” The memorial service for Marion Renner – including the open mic – will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at Haysville’s United Methodist Church..

lives and shaped so many young lives.” –Marian Shufelberger. Richard said he knows there are many other great stories out there. Her funeral service will include an “open mic” for people to share their remembrances. Marion had open-heart surgery about 2-1/2 years ago. She recovered well, but began to have valve issues this summer. “Eventually, they had to say, ‘I’m sorry, Marion. We can’t do any more.’” She went into hospice, and died four days later. She remained in her home, and was still mentally sharp. Richard shared one final story about his mother. His parents divorced when he was just two years old.

The co-op elevator in Clearwater can be seen from the sunflowers. The Klausmeyers have had sunflower fields for three years, but this is the first season they have operated it as a full-time extension of the farm and charge
admission like they do with the pumpkin patch. Previously, they had a donation box and went off the honor system. But last season, somebody stole the donation. A new outdoor activity in the COVID-19 era – when so many other entertainment options have been closed – has proven to be popular. “We couldn’t believe the cars that came and how people
laughed and enjoyed it,” Debbie Klausmeyer said. “I didn’t think there’d be so many.” Operating a sunflower field for tourists is a limited-time proposition. Klausmeyer said sunflowers only bloom for about two weeks. They opened their first 40-acre section on July 24, and it lasted about two weeks. They have a section that is now

Traffic lights, extra lanes to greet students By Travis Mounts TSnews news@tsnews.com
HAYSVILLE – Drivers at the corner of 55th Street South and Meridian Avenue have already noticed the new lights and extra lanes at the corner by Campus High School. The recently-completed project should make things much safer for drivers – especially less-experienced teenage drivers – as the new school year begins. The old multi-lane four-way stop has been replaced. Now there are traffic lights with protected left turns in all directions. A right-turn lane has been added for westbound traffic on 55th Street South, and another

There is a new crosswalk with crosswalk buttons and voice assistance for the visually disabled crossing 55th Street South on the east side of the intersection.

after. On the first play of the ensuing drive, Hogan threw a short pass to the right side to Cade Friend, who quickly found running room in the middle of the field and then sprinted left to outrun the secondary to cut the Lions’ lead in half, 14-7. The Lions went right back to the air, and a big reception by Tyrone Lucas put them back in scoring reception. The Tigers’ second interception ended that drive, and the score stayed at 14-7 at halftime. Semrad scored on a 22yard run in the third for a 21-7 lead. He then ran for his second rushing score of the night, this time from 24 yards out, for a 28-14 lead with 4:50 left in the third quarter. Momentum swung to Eisenhower in the fourth quarter, as the Tigers passed for two touchdowns, the second one from Hogan to Rush. Goddard blocked Eisenhower’s point-after kick on the first one, leaving the Tigers down 28-20. The Tigers faked a kick on the last touchdown, but Reese Beason made the tackle to preserve the Lions’ 2-point lead. Eisenhower had one more chance late, but Goddard’s Jake Shope – who was shut down as a receiver on Friday – made a play on defense with an interception of Eisenhower’s Hogan to end the Tigers’ comeback effort, and the Lions were able to get a first down and run out the clock. “We had a couple chances where we got up by 14 points and had a chance to put them away,” said Goddard head coach Tommy Beason. He said missed tackles were a problem, but that the Tigers played well also.
A key defensive stop on a 2-point conversion and a last-minute touchdown helped the Cheney Cardinals to a 40-34 win over the Halstead Dragons in Friday’s home Class 3A football playoff.

GARDEN PLAIN – It’s pretty common for farmers to keep their feelings and emotions to themselves. A few words and a look can mean a lot. So Jerry Hahn’s misty eyes spoke volumes about how he felt as more than a dozen friends and neighbors showed up last week to harvest his wheat crop. Hahn is currently undergoing chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer, and that battle takes up most of his energy. “It’s amazing. Words can’t describe it,” Hahn said at the farm just east of Garden Plain last Wednesday morning. He stopped for a moment to look at the people heading to their trucks to go into his fields. The late morning sun glistened like dew in his moist eyes. The volunteer crew had just finished meeting to split up duties and make a plan for the day. Their goal was to cut a little more than 500 acres in one day. “I feel like I should be helping them,” Hahn said. There is an independent spirit at the heart of nearly every farmer and rancher. It’s something in their DNA that draws them to farming, which is more of a lifestyle than a profession. Asking for help runs counter to a passion to figure things out on their own. In this case, Hahn did not need to ask for help. That’s another thing about farmers – they just show
up and get things done. Phil Klein and Mark Pauly helped organize last week’s effort. “Harvest comes whether he feels well or not,” Klein said, adding that everyone in the area knew Hahn did not feel as well as he could. There was no real effort to organize the group. Instead, people simply started volunteering. “I was just fielding calls from people who wanted to help,” Klein said. He and Pauly simply put a little organization to the help that was there and waiting. At 11 a.m., the group was meeting. About a third of the people were going to cut, another third would be in grain carts, and the final third would deliver the crop to the elevator. Many people brought implements of one kind or another – combines, trucks and semis, and tractors and grain carts. Some brought several pieces of equipment. “We’ll have a pretty good chance to get Jerry’s wheat cut today,” Klein said last Wednesday. Once things were organized, the crew grabbed sack lunches from Jerry’s wife, Janie, and other family members. Everybody was told they were taking a lunch and drinks, no matter what – even newspaper reporters. None of the other farmers were done harvesting their own crops yet. They put their fields on hold to help a friend, knowing that rain could become an issue in the following days. “Everybody has Jerry close to our hearts,” said Klein, a lifelong friend of Hahn’s. Once the lunches were handed out, Janie Hahn had

Lions eke out playoff win over Tigers The Roar on 54 playoff rematch was a much closer game, with the Goddard Lions hanging on for a 2826 win over the cross-district rival Eisenhower Tigers in last Friday’s Class 5A football playoff game. It was a battle between two teams that know each other well, maybe too well. Eisenhower gave up the ball on the game’s kickoff, putting the Lions in good field position. They turned the Tigers’ error into points on a pass from Kyler Semrad to Dylan Reese to go up 7-0. Both teams had missed opportunities in the second quarter. Twice the Lions had promising drives short-circuited by Eisenhower interceptions – one by Cody Hauser in the end zone early in the second quarter, and one later by Carson Brunow in the red zone. The Tigers had two missed chances on one drive. After the Hauser interception, the Tigers drove into Goddard territory. An apparent 21-yard touchdown on a pass by Nick Hogan to Owen Rush was called back on a penalty. Another penalty and a sack derailed the drive, and a 48-yard field goal attempt went wide right. After that miss, Eisenhower forced Goddard to punt from deep in its own end. But a roughing-the-kicker penalty gave the Lions new life. Kyler Semrad connected with Bo Bantz on a short pass, and Bantz used his legs to turn it into a 34yard gain. Dylan Reese then put Goddard ahead 14-0 with 2:35 left in the half on a 24-yard touchdown run. The Tigers showed their big-play potential right

a chance to reflect on things. “It means a lot, more than you can put into words. It’s a blessing, a true blessing,” she said. “He’s got a good group of friends. He would be doing the same thing for them.” As the harvest crew headed out, other friends were planning a barbecue that night to feed everybody once the work was done. The cooking equipment was going to be brought to the farm, and the food was taken care of. Jerry was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer on March 31. He’s about 75 percent of the way through chemotherapy. After two more treatments, he will undergo another scan and doctors will determine the next course of action. “The week of the treatment, he can’t do anything. He sleeps for the entire week,” Janie said. One way or another, this was going to be Jerry’s last harvest. Two separate auctions are planned for August to sell the equipment and then sell the land. He owns the farming operation and his parents own the land. The Hahns were looking at hiring cutters to take care of this final crop. That means spending money they otherwise would keep. The emotions of the day ran deep, but the signs were subtle. Few words were said, but few words were needed. “Farmers have their own language,” Jerry said. “It’s a handshake, a tip of the hat, a nod, and we understand what they’re thinking.”

A little fishing is good for the soul
Kim and I shared a getaway with friends this past weekend, and had a delightful time doing all kinds of relaxing activities. We took the opportunity to try out a vacation property at Anthony Lake, which is a pleasant drive from here and afforded us all the amenities we needed for the weekend. There was a road around the lake for biking, a beautiful deck for sitting around outside and enjoying meals, and even a small golf course where we finished our weekend on Sunday afternoon. And did I mention we were on a lake? So of course we went fishing a couple of times over the weekend. On our first outing to fish, we didn’t catch anything, but we were wildly entertained by the catfish that were digging around in the bank of the cove where we were fishing. Our guess was that the fish were spawning, and way too busy with that activity to test our baited hooks. Fishing is such a relaxing venture, and has been a part of my life for…well, a lifetime. My girlfriend Kim also has fished since
From the Editor’s Files
Paul Rhodes | Publisher & Editor
she was a kid, and has fond memories of fishing with her brother. In fact, her memories were strong enough that she taught her daughter to fish, and she enjoys it, too. I taught all of my kids to fish, and last year I got my grandson his first fishing pole to start testing out the waters, so to speak. I can’t say that any of my kids are avid fishermen, but they know what to do with a fishing pole when handed one. Even our collection of fishing gear brings back memories for Kim and me. We’ve got six poles and reels set up and ready to go at any time, and it’s as easy as putting the poles and my tackle box in the back of the truck when the urge hits. There’s a pole that I gave
my dad years ago as a gift, and I got it back when he died. It’s equipped with a spinning reel that my father never put too many miles on because he frankly preferred the old bait-casting reels that he had had for years before that. I loved playing with Dad’s bait-casting reels as a kid, but fishing with them was always a challenge. He was patient with my brother and me as he taught us how to cast them without getting a bunch of backlash, but eventually he got us spin-casting reels that were sooooo much simpler to use. In addition to my pole, we’ve got the poles and spin-casting reels that Kim and her daughter used for years, and two other poles with spin-casting reels that my kids had used. Rounding out the collection is a nice pole and micro spincast reel that we bought at an estate sale for two bucks earlier this spring. Everyone got a chuckle when I pulled it out of the truck this past weekend because it still had the price tag taped to the pole. Much of the fishing Kim and I do is bait fishing, and this past weekend was
no different. We bought worms and frozen shrimp on our way to Anthony Lake Friday afternoon, and we were set for the weekend. Our friends had some experience fishing as well, and after our unsuccessful outing earlier in the day Saturday, we settled in to do a little more fishing on the other side of the lake that evening. I’m sure we looked pretty relaxed with all of us lined up in our lawn chairs, poles in hand and bobbers floating in a row on the water. And this time, we did have a little success. We caught three catfish and a perch, all of which went back in the lake to do a little more growing. And the rest of our bait went into the lake too, since it was Saturday night and our fishing efforts were finished. Back at our rental cabin, we cooked steaks on the grill, played a board game and called it a night. We hadn’t planned on cleaning any fish to eat, so all was right with the world. And, we all agreed that a relaxing evening along the shore of the lake was just what everyone needed.
A spring like no other
When I lived in the city, spring was not my favorite season. Summer is filled with warm sunny days inspiring vacations or breaks from reality that provide much needed rest and relaxation. Fall’s brisk days and chilly nights are the perfect setting for football games, spooky fun and feasting at Thanksgiving. Winter has some big headliners with the holiday season up front and enough predictability in cold weather that people either embrace it as a wonderland or avoid it at all costs. But spring always felt like it sneaks up on you with its beginning somewhere between the appearance of a groundhog, leprechaun and the Easter Bunny. It is often the muddy aftermath of a fading winter wonderland. It matches fall’s temperatures but not its ambiance. Then before you know it, summer is creeping in to outshine it with its unofficial launch party on Memorial Day. Since moving back to a farm, my perspective has shifted, and spring feels completely different in this more flattering light. Spring sneaking up doesn’t seem so bad when you realize that practically overnight a dull brown,

lifeless field turns into lush green, thriving wheat. New baby calves and lambs can be seen frolicking through mud puddles and exploring the world around them. Instead of holding a welcome party for summer, we hope for rain on Memorial Day to water the crops and maybe give us a little break between planting and harvest. It is a time of new life and growth. Hidden flower bulbs make it feel like the earth is awakening with their colorful appearance. Buds forming on trees and bushes begin to flower in a beautiful promise of the fruit they will bear. The air comes alive with the sounds of wildlife and insects returning to their natural patterns. The freshness of spring brings an enthusiasm for hard work. Gardeners who spent the winter dreaming cannot wait to dig in and begin new projects. Farmers filled with belief work long into the night planting the seeds that will eventually make harvest possible. Warmer days instinctually make people want to throw open the

windows and clean away the staleness of the past. Staleness of the past has accumulated over this past year. We have been stuck in our homes with little escape during the pandemic that monopolized our minds, altered our lives and sapped much of our energy. The first day of spring this year caught me by surprise like always, but this year’s surprise felt sweeter. It made it real that it has been a year since we first went into lockdown. A year of social distancing, mask wearing and unthinkable loss for our country. A year of rapid development and deployment of a vaccine that is helping to curb our
infection rates. The arrival of spring feels like the fresh start we have been desperately waiting for. Spring has brought with it a lightness of spirit that makes it feel OK to dream again. That someday soon we will be able to ditch the masks, hug our loved ones and make real live plans. Take advantage of this uniquely momentous spring to clear away the staleness of the past, plant seeds of hope for the future, and embrace a new life and the growth all around you.

Arbor Day planting Haysville Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts joined Mayor Bruce Armstrong, council member Janet Parton and Haysville city staff to plant and mulch several trees in Randal L. Dorner Park on Monday. Arbor Day was on April 30, but Haysville always celebrates it on May 3 by planting several trees in the city. “Every year we have it on the anniversary of the tornado in 1999, on May 3,” said Mayor Bruce Armstrong. “The Scouts help us every year. We look forward to planting more trees.” Armstrong noted that Haysville has been recognized as a Tree City by the Arbor Day Foundation for 21 consecutive years. Travis Mounts/TSnews
